journal contribution
posted on 2019-04-03, 12:45 authored by Hyungil Harry Kwon, Do Young PyunDo Young Pyun, J.Y. KimAs a new sport policy, named ‘School Sport Promotion Group (SSPG)’, the Korea government selected 50 schools in 2011 and 2012. Each school was granted with US$40,000 a year for a three-year term. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the SSPG programme when it pertained to students’ motivation and participation in school sport clubs. More specifically, the moderation effect of governmental financial support in the relationships between motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) and sport participation was tested using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that both intrinsic motivation (β = .22) and extrinsic motivation (β = .20) were significant indicators of future participation intention in non-SSPG model while only intrinsic motivation (β = .58) was a significant indicator in SSPG model. A chi-square differential test showed that the coefficient of the path from intrinsic motivation to future intention in the SSPG was significantly larger than that in non-SSPG model, supporting the moderation role of governmental financial support. The results of this study can provide administrators with meaningful information regarding how financial support can promote students’ physical activity and health.
